LoveatFirstSip
About
Love at First Sip is a Valentine’s Day mixlist built around first impressions - light, flirtatious, and just indulgent enough to linger. This collection moves gracefully from bright, sparkling openers to soft, dessert-style nightcaps, mirroring the arc of a perfect date night. Nothing here feels rushed or overdone. These are cocktails meant to be noticed, remembered, and slowly enjoyed.
Vodka provides a clean, neutral base throughout, allowing expressive ingredients like limoncello, rose wine, cranberry, and rose syrup to take center stage. Prosecco and club soda keep the early drinks playful and buoyant, while cream, chocolate liqueur, and white crème de cacao introduce a richer, more intimate mood as the night unfolds. Honey softens sharp edges, rose adds romance without perfume overload, and chocolate appears only when the moment is right.
This mixlist isn’t about bold statements or heavy pours. It’s about balance, texture, and emotion - drinks that feel elegant in the glass and effortless to sip. Whether you’re hosting a Valentine’s dinner, planning a cozy night in, or setting the tone for something new, Love at First Sip is designed to make the first cocktail feel like the beginning of a story.

Cupid’sSpark
The Cupid’s Spark cocktail is designed to start the night on a high note. Light, citrus-forward, and unmistakably festive, this drink leans into freshness rather than weight. Vodka provides a clean, neutral base, while limoncello brings a sunny burst of lemon that feels cheerful and immediate. A small splash of cranberry juice adds color and gentle tartness without turning the drink sweet or heavy.
VenetianValentine
The Venetian Valentine cocktail is all about easy romance. Light, pink, and gently sparkling, this drink borrows the relaxed charm of an Italian spritz and gives it a Valentine’s-ready glow. Vodka adds quiet structure without stealing attention, while rosé wine brings soft fruit and floral notes that feel elegant rather than sweet. Limoncello lifts everything with a bright citrus snap, keeping the drink fresh and lively.
LoveNote
The Love Note cocktail is subtle, polished, and quietly romantic. It doesn’t rely on bold flavors or heavy sweetness. Instead, it leans into balance - crisp vodka, tart cranberry, gentle honey, and a dry Prosecco finish. Each element has space to speak, making this drink feel thoughtful rather than flashy.
Cupid’sWhisper
The Cupid’s Whisper cocktail is soft, romantic, and deliberately indulgent. This is a dessert-style drink that leans into texture and aroma rather than sharp citrus or brightness. Vodka keeps the base clean and neutral, allowing the richer elements to shine. White crème de cacao brings smooth, creamy chocolate notes without darkness or bitterness, while heavy cream gives the drink its velvety body.
KissfromaRose
The Kiss from a Rose cocktail is unapologetically indulgent. Inspired by the richness of classic chocolate desserts, this drink leans fully into creaminess, cocoa depth, and floral romance. Vodka keeps the base clean and neutral, allowing the chocolate liqueur to take center stage with deep, bittersweet cocoa notes. Heavy cream smooths everything out, giving the drink its luxurious, cake-like texture.
